An Amish Getaway

Don took me on a little Valentines getaway Saturday night. We have both been working a lot and needed to get out of town for a night. One thing we really enjoy doing together is going out to Adamstown PA to all the antique markets. We always pass by these cute old little motels and say how we should stay in one and get an early start to the day. We stayed at the Penn Amish Motel. It is old and we requested to switch rooms after our first room smelled moldy, stuffy and the wallpaper was peeling away from the walls. The second room was ten times better although we barely had hot water. Nothing fancy about the place but we had a good time and it was good to get out of town.While it is not the high season for the antique markets the indoor shops are all still open. We prefer going out in early summer late fall when all the vendors are outside. Our favorite market is Shupp's Grove. We have found some great deals at these markets but we have yet to get to any of them earlier that 9:00 a.m. This year we plan to come back and stay over night so we can be up with the early crowd at 5 a.m.
We didn't find any treasures this time around although I was really tempted by a beautiful Navajo bracelet. If I keep thinking about it I may have to make another trip out and hope it is still there.
This is Don's shot. He liked the look of the motel sign from behind.

Quick update on the car, I found out that is was a salt truck that knocked off my mirror and my car was not the only one hit on the street. My neighbor knows the guy who did it and we have filed police reports. So there is some resolution, I doubt it will pay for anything but at lease I know what happened.
